What should Lucian build if he's behind? I always always finish my tf. Feel weak without it
I've said it from the start, and it was proven last season in Korea with Lucian's win rate, but Trinity Force first is generally bad on Lucian outside of specific comps.
Like, it was painfully obvious. Samsung Blue's Deft originally did it because they'd use a fast push and siege strategy with Lucian and Nidalee and the early Sheen and Phage was better for that.
The problem is if you're not doing that strategy or if you fall behind in any way, Trinity Force first is bad because you do feck all damage. Lucian's win rate in the last OGN was awful because all the bad Lucian players would rush Trinity Force, whereas the good players that built correctly (BT into Trinity Force) all had Lucian banned against them.
He had like a 30-something % win rate. SKT didn't use that strategy this game and Piglet fell behind, so not having the damage of a stacked BT and instead a Trinity Force with almost no AD meant he couldn't do enough damage at all. If you're that far behind going to standard ADC items and even ignoring TF is better.
